Nowadays we are amazed how in every sports discipline there are breaking brands that seemed unattainable for the post-steroid generation where antidoping bodies seek to keep the name of the sport clean, but the athletes prepare with dedication and discipline delivering what best of itself to break mythical brands that question whether they really are for their talent or tricks in doping controls that advance technology will one day be revealed.

Steroids These are synthetic substances related to male sex hormones (such as testosterone), which promote the growth of skeletal muscle due to its anabolic effects, and which have been mainly exploited by bodybuilders, weightlifters and practitioners. other sports that require muscle mass. The fundamental purpose of steroid abuse is to increase physical performance in sports, which can happen at any age.

The most famous case in the history of the sport is the one of the American cyclist lance Armstrong that could be crowned with 7 tour of France becoming the best cyclist of history and battling with characters of the stature of Michael Jordan or the same Roger Federer to consider it the best athlete of our times. Endless accusations placed the cyclist haul Armstrong against the sword and the wall and had to end his network of lies by admitting the use of prohibited substances to improve performance and despite overcoming two cancer was banished to the sports world and taking it to ruin, but what also causes certain doubts in its history is how the USADA (American Anti-Doping Agency) and the different anti-doping bodies allowed the legend of the cyclist to grow every day since the marketing and advertising power of the same had generated riches never before seen in this sporting activity.

To this day the best cyclist is undoubtedly British of Kenyan origin Christopher Froome but many have placed the eye of doubt and uncertainty if it is just a hoax of trickery evading anti-doping controls or if indeed their great results in the road are for their talent.

Another example of the famous athletes who have their names stained by the use of steroids are the baseball players Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Alex Rodriguez, are characters that have broken historical marks in this discipline but sowing the doubt of whether true their brands are works of pure talent because for those who do not know how to hit a baseball thrown at more than 95 miles per hour is scientifically the most complicated to achieve in any sport and not all who inject steroids without practice necessary could hit a home run ball.

The most famous case of athletics is that of the Canadian Ben Johnson, the Canadian athlete (of Jamaican origin) who developed his career from the late 80s to the early 90s. At the Seoul Olympics 88 Johnson won a memorable duel to the son of Carl Lewis wind in the final of the 100 meters flat and broke the world record. Three days later he was dispossessed of the title because he tested positive for anti-doping control. He had consumed an anabolic steroid, stanozolol. He was suspended for life by the International Athletics Federation in 1993, so there are already those who doubt the 9-time Olympic speed champion Usaint Bolt that due to his multiple world records there could be another network of tricks to circumvent the drug's anti-doping controls time.

That is why he asked me if the truth steroids are still present in the global brands of our time or a quota of great talent is what causes that in sport are breaking these important brands.

Nowadays all sports professionals use some kind of doping to reach their best results of course in combination with talent. I work out in the gym to keep fit and sometimes go on steroid cycles to build muscle. Basically, I buy everything at etalaze shop because they have good prices and a wide range of products. One of my friends with whom I go to the gym advised me this site.
